My soft-curved, biomorphic ceramic forms, The Pet Rocks, are coated in a variety of combinations of colors and textures taken from natural, neon and synthetic inspirations. The blending of these, not always expected pairs, are a nod to nostalgic references from my 90’s childhood, as well as influence from today’s queer culture. The two together, represent my interpretation of the amorphous possibilities of queer-abstraction and queer joy.
